  2. Old news but fun anyway. Instead of forced to use a bicycle, how about given a taste of freedom on a bicycle? The answer to congestion alleviation is so close but people can't quite grab on to it.

  3. It's only been a month, but the results thus far are pretty dramatic. It works, so naturally the big buffoon opposes it.

  4. Friday is farmers market day at Del Monte Center, Monterey. Don’t know who rode this bike to DMC today, just appreciate that they did. Related tips in “Bike to Farmers Markets” bikemonterey.org/tips-for-tour and in “Shopping by Bike”: bikemonterey.org/tips-for-tour

    DMC is in city of Monterey. The city’s bike-aware leaders, e.g., Mayor Tyller Williamson and Council Member Gino Garcia (whose day job is working for Ecology Action of Santa Cruz / Lets Modo) may be unaware that we formerly had in that Shopping section of the Tips guide a detailed map listing all Del Monte Center bike rack locations. Their ED at that time himself biked to work! Why is that detailed map no longer in our guide? Because DMC 🔥REMOVED those bike racks! 😭#NotProgress #GoingBackward #CarbonEmissions #TrafficCongestion #Monterey #ActOnClimate #ClimateCrisis #transportation

  5. [Video + gift article] Plan to extend turnpike through #farmland gets slammed before first public meeting

    The #MaineTurnpikeAuthority is hosting a public meeting Monday evening on the #GorhamConnector, its plan to build a 5-mile, 4-lane highway spur from the turnpike in #SouthPortlandMaine to the #GorhamBypass.

    "Speakers at the press conference said the connector would worsen or simply relocate #TrafficCongestion and exacerbate #pollution and other #environmental problems.

    "Warren Knight, one of six siblings involved in the farm, questioned whether the authority chose to build the connector through the farm because it was easier to cross and the cheapest alternative for a project expected to cost well over $200 million.

    "'We don’t think that’s right or fair,' Knight said. 'Why should #OpenSpace and farmland be considered expendable?”

    "Tuck O’Brien, a Portland resident and representative of Trout Unlimited, a nonprofit that works to preserve and restore fish habitat, said the connector would jeopardize the clean, cool headwaters of #RedBrook, a tributary to Clarks Pond in South Portland that is [one of the last] active habitats for #BrookTrout.

    "Sadie Donnell, a #GorhamMaine resident, said the region’s traffic challenges present a 'huge opportunity' to expand public transportation and reduce the number of cars on the road, rather than move them from one road to another."

  7. Our favorite sort of visitors are people who (if able) bike, walk, skate, scoot, or use public transportation. We met two such #Monterey County visitors on 10 Feb 2024: this couple from #Fresno who'd rented #bicycles to enjoy #cycling along the #PacificGrove shoreline and elsewhere. They were grooving on the sunshine after all the recent rains!
